Excerpt: Today we look at QNAP’s Network Media Player, the NMP-1000 that features a robust multimedia server and can serve as a very capable Network Attached Device. We have seen QNAPs products in the past – mainly in network storage where their attached devices have performed superbly. The NMP-1000 is a sort of hybrid dual functioning media player and storage device.

Conclusion: Multimedia handling and output quality of QNAP's NMP-1000 is generally excellent. As far as video streaming is concerned, the media player works as advertised -- it plays almost every video file in my library that I've thrown at it, and I noticed no lag or drops when streaming videos over my central wired network. Conditions for network test setup include files located on my QNAP TS-439 Pro network attached storage as the source drive.

Summary: Where am I to start with the QNAP NMP-1000. It manages to work extremely well in so many different areas that it is hard to wrap things up in a orderly fashion. Let me start with the device itself. It looks great, allows for easy installation of the hard drive, works well, is silent and draws very little power. I have yet to see a network media player that combines all these attributes into one device. The software of the NMP-1000 is fast and responsive.

Cons: Long boot times of well over 80 seconds, No eSATA cable included, Few compatible wireless USB dongles - a built-in version would be great, Going wireless adds to the total cost, IC only supports SATA I (1.5 Gbps), not SATA II (3.0 Gbps)
